... and the junction between seattube and top tube? TP? Looks awful more LaPierre-like than Cannondale.

... and the junction of downtube and seattube? What about that, dear friend? It's an awful more LaPierre-like than Cannondale.

... and, while we're at it, the most obvious: look at the junction of Heattube/Downtube/TopTube. On the LaPierre it is "V" like. On the Cannondale it is U shaped, possible more 'paneled'. The pictured TT bike from FDJ is, yes, V shaped.

The top tube is not sloping, btw, the photo is angled. Corrected, the top tube is parallel with the ground.Both the Aerostorm and Slice have flared seatstays. Just like BMC. Just like (name a brand here). I had no idea that Cannondale patented that idea.

It might just be a 2013 Aerostorm. Is that too hard to imagine?

BTW - most TT frames are beginning to look like each other, no? This has been the case for quiet some time now.Is there a bias among folks favoring 'major' brands? Sometimes people state things as if the major brands the be-all-and-end-all of innovation and everyone else just copies... which is definitely not the case and certainly not a belief with any absolute credibility.

which is to say; same mould/design template, few mods. Even the top tube is the same - flattened.

I don't think all TT bikes are starting to look the same either. In fact, I'd say the 'v' behind the seatpost was solely Cannondale's (until now). But then, I spend a lot of time now looking at TT rigs.

Don't think it's a Slice, but a new Lapierre. The chainstays are not Slice, seatpost wider than Slice, fork different, seattube etc. Also the current Lapierre is not that new, and in any case older than the Slice. Also, it shared it's design with the Koga TT frame, so maybe the companies have decided to have their own unique designs?
